Return to Juniper's Reservoir - our favorite little fishing camp.  This is the beginning of our "trek" back to the Desert Southwest.

 

 

Lots of wild life to check out - even the cows are fun to watch.

 



 

Time of the year for the "round-up"!  This working cattle ranch does things the old fashioned way - on horseback!

 

 

Is this where they say "move 'em out"?  We thought that we were in the middle of their cattle drive, but the cows just went around us like we weren't there.  The Cowboys were fun to watch.

 

 

Opps!  An escapee!!!  This Cowboy had to go all the way around the resevoir to herd this runaway back into the fold.

 

 

Finally a fish!  With only two days to fish this trip, we were getting afraid of being skunked.

 

 

Fish number 2 - another Rainbow Trout.

 

 

Fish number 3 - yet another Rainbow Trout.  Things are looking up!

 

 

End of day 1 - count is Andy - 3 Rainbow Trout, Linda - ZERO!

 

Friends Diane and Ray join us for some fishing fun!

 

 

Linda finally got a fish!

 

 

Ray got a Catfish!  Was beginning to think no Cats were left - glad we were wrong.

 

 

Good friends having great times!

 

 

Another Trout for Linda!

 

And another Trout for Andy

 

 

Yada, Yada, Yada!

 

 

More Yada, Yada!  Didn't get a group picture this day, but the count was Andy = 3 Rainbow Trout, Linda = 2 Rainbow Trout, and Ray = 1 Catfish.

 

Fun and some good eating down the road.  Time to head out in the morning.  We really enjoyed spending time with Diane and Ray - just wish it had been longer!

 

 

 Back to our "overnight" site in beautiful Hawthorne Nevada - good pizza at the Old Nevada Pizza Company and a safe "free" place to park for the night.

 

 

 "Home" for the next three weeks.  Back in our great spot at the Las Vegas Thousand Trails RV park.

 

 

 We enjoyed an overnight stay by my (Linda's) Brother Lawrence.  Had a good time catching up during his short visit.

 

 

Gathering of some of our relatives while in Las Vegas.  Pictured is Cousin Clifford, Bill, Me, Toni, Andy, Cousin Carolyn, and Gloria.  Clifford and Gloria are Carolyn's parents, Bill is Carolyn's Husband, Toni is also a Cousin.  Bill and Carolyn are visiting from New York City, Clifford and Gloria are visiting from New Jersey and Toni lives in Las Vegas.

 

 

Pictures of more Cousins in Vegas.  Some visiting from Kentucky and California - and of course Jay and Lema who live in Vegas.

 

Lots of fun with family!

 

 

Home Sweet "Winter" Home!  After a long day, with a delightful stop in Lake Havasu City to visit friends, we arrived and got parked just at dark, so just pulled in on the "easy" side of the lot.  This morning the clean-up begins!  Nothing too bad, just mostly dirt.  Glad to be back in our beautiful Desert Southwest and looking forward to another wonderful Winter!
